Staffing
The need for labor can vary. You may experience increased workload, be preparing for a large project, face absenteeism, or another situation where staffing is critical.
We have competent employees in construction, civil engineering, and industry. All our employees have gone through an interview process, been carefully assessed, and have had their documents and references checked. With our expertise, you can be confident that we will solve the challenge for you.
We take on the employer responsibility. Even though the employee works for you, it is us at Workshop who are the responsible employer, handling salary, vacation pay, and similar matters.

New Rules for Hiring from Staffing Companies as of April 2023
In April 2023, a new regulation was established regarding hiring from staffing companies for companies without a collective bargaining agreement.
In Oslo, Viken, and the former Vestfold, a total ban on hiring from staffing companies in construction was introduced, but much remains the same:
Nationwide (except Oslo, Viken, and former Vestfold)
You can still hire as before when there is illness and other absenteeism. However, the new rules limit the possibility of hiring for temporary needs unless you have a collective agreement with a nationwide union and a valid agreement with the employee representatives.
In Oslo, Viken, and former Vestfold
It is prohibited to hire from staffing companies even if you have a collective agreement. We can still help you find the expertise you need with our new solution, Project Resource. We carry out the recruitment process, and your company hires on a temporary basis.
How Project Resource Works
We still meet your staffing needs, even after the legislative change. With our new Project Resource solution, we assist you in finding critical expertise for temporary needs. We still find the right person at the right time through our quality-assured recruitment process and candidate database. When you have a temporary need for labor, you borrow the employee, and we assist throughout the entire employment relationship.
Contact us, and we will discuss a solution that suits you.
Recruitment
Success often comes down to finding the right person at the right time. Workshop has a large candidate database, excellent search tools, and a structured methodology with several phases:
Job Analysis
Together with the client, we look into all relevant details for the position. What kind of business is it? What are the tasks, and what requirements are there for the candidate? What personal qualities and profile are important? Are there any other requirements?
Candidate Search & Advertising
We have the country's largest database of active job seekers, but we also look in external databases. In addition, we use tailored advertising and our own network.
Assessment
Applications are sorted, and candidates are evaluated with the aim of presenting alternative candidates to the client.
Selection
Based on the candidates we agree on with the client, we conduct structured interviews and reference checks. We can also perform ability and personality tests according to the client's wishes and needs. Finally, we present one or more candidates in a prioritized order.
Follow-up
Once a candidate is chosen and hired, we assist with onboarding and other follow-ups and conduct a wrap-up meeting with the client.
With us, you get a dedicated advisor with good insight into the local and national labor market. We have DNV-certified recruiters who use ISO-certified methods.
You decide how much of the recruitment process you want assistance with. Do you only want us to sort incoming applications? Take responsibility for testing candidates? We can carry out the entire recruitment process or just parts of it.
Courses
At Workshop, we understand the importance of continuous professional development and quality assurance in the work our clients do, and we want to assist with just that.
We have a dedicated instructor in our administration who is a certified instructor and offers the following courses:
- Slinging & Hoisting
- Hazardous Tools
- Fall Protection
We offer courses in Norwegian and Polish.
We can hold courses at our branch offices or on-site at construction sites.
